कच्चे माल और गैसोलीन के अमेरिकी भंडार में गिरावट के कारण कच्चे तेल के भाव मे तेज़ी आई है। साथ ही, ब्रेक्सिट सौदे के संकेत ने निवेशकों की जोखिम की क्षमता बढ़ा दी है। क्रूड और ईंधन के साथ-साथ संभावित ब्रेक्सिट सौदे के कारण डॉलर मे दबाव बना रहा, जिससे कच्चे तेल के भाव को सपोर्ट मिला है।
डॉलर मे गिरावट अन्य मुद्राओं के धारकों के लिए ग्रीनबैक की कीमत को अधिक किफायती बनाता है। लेकिन, कोरोनोवायरस के एक नए संस्करण पर चिंता का विषय है और छुट्टी के मोड में निवेशकों के साथ तेल बाजार शांत भी है।
ऊर्जा सूचना प्रशासन (ईआईए) ने बुधवार को कहा कि कच्चे तेल की सूची सप्ताह में 562,000 बैरल घटकर 4995 लाख बैरल तक गिर गई है। ईआईए ने कहा कि गैसोलीन के स्टॉक में 10.1 लाख बैरल की गिरावट आई, जबकि डिस्टिलेट स्टॉकपाइल्स 23 लाख बैरल से अधिक तक गिर गए है।
तेल की कीमतों ने उन खबरों से भी समर्थन हासिल किया, जो ब्रिटेन और यूरोपीय संघ के एक संकीर्ण व्यापार समझौते को तोड़ने के लिए थे। वैश्विक शेयर बाजार में एक पलटाव के कारण निवेशकों के बीच जोखिम की क्षमता में भी सुधार हुआ है, जिससे लगता है कि कोरोनोवायरस के एक नए संस्करण पर डर थोड़ा कम हुआ है।
कुछ निवेशक तेल की मांग सुधरने के बारे में असमर्थ है, क्योकि अमेरिकियों को फिर से चेतावनी दी गई है कि वे क्रिसमस के लिए यात्रा न करें क्योंकि अस्पतालों में मरीज बढ़ सकते है।
आपूर्ति पक्ष पर, इस सप्ताह अमेरिकी ऊर्जा फर्मों ने लगातार पाँचवें सप्ताह तेल और प्राकृतिक गैस रिसाव मे वृद्धि दर्ज की है। तेल और गैस रिग काउंट, भविष्य के आउटपुट का एक प्रारंभिक संकेतक है और बेकर ह्यूजेस के मुताबिक, सप्ताह में तेल रिग काउंट 2 से बढ़कर 348 तक पहुंच गया है।
घरेलु वायदा कच्चे तेल के भाव इस सप्ताह सीमित दायरे मे रह सकते है। इसमें 3330 रुपय के निचले स्तरों पर सपोर्ट है तथा 3700 रुपए पर प्रतिरोध है।
The commodity market plays a crucial role in the global economy, including India's, by enabling the trading of essential raw materials like oil, gold, wheat, and more. It is a market where buyers and sellers meet to exchange commodities at a certain price, much like the stock market. Commodities form the backbone of the global economy, and the commodity market serves as a vital platform for their trade. In this blog, we will explore the importance and significance of the commodity market in simple terms.
A commodity market is a place where raw materials or primary products, called commodities, are traded. These commodities are divided into two major categories:
Commodity markets allow producers, traders, and investors to buy and sell these products, often through contracts known as futures, which we'll explore further in this blog.
The commodity market is crucial for discovering the fair price of goods and services. Prices in the commodity market are determined by supply and demand. For example, if there’s a shortage of oil, its price goes up, and if there’s a surplus of wheat, its price may go down. This open and transparent pricing helps industries plan their production and helps consumers better understand market conditions.
Producers, traders, and investors use the commodity market to manage risk. Since commodity prices can be volatile (fluctuating based on various factors like weather, political events, or economic conditions), traders use futures contracts to lock in prices in advance.
A well-functioning commodity market contributes to the overall stability of the economy. It helps balance supply and demand, ensuring that resources are efficiently allocated. In India, where agriculture is a key part of the economy, the commodity market helps farmers secure fair prices for their crops, leading to greater economic stability in rural areas.
The commodity market significantly impacts the economy by supporting industries that rely on raw materials. For instance, industries like manufacturing, energy, and agriculture rely on the smooth functioning of the commodity market. These industries contribute to GDP growth, create jobs, and drive economic progress.
Apart from producers and buyers, the commodity market also attracts investors. People invest in commodities like gold, silver, or crude oil to diversify their portfolios and hedge against inflation. Commodities are seen as a safe investment, especially in times of economic uncertainty. Investing in commodities can provide stability when stock markets are volatile.
Commodities are traded internationally, and the commodity market helps facilitate global trade. Countries rich in natural resources, like oil or metals, can export them to countries that need them. This fosters international relationships and creates a flow of goods, services, and capital between countries.
Commodity prices can have a direct impact on inflation. For example, if crude oil prices increase, the cost of transportation, manufacturing, and goods increases, which leads to inflation. Conversely, when commodity prices drop, inflation may decrease as the cost of goods goes down. Governments and central banks often monitor commodity prices to gauge inflationary trends in the economy.
India has a long history of trading commodities, particularly agricultural goods. With a large population dependent on agriculture, the commodity market plays a significant role in stabilizing farmers' incomes and ensuring that consumers have access to essential products at fair prices.
India is one of the largest producers of agricultural products like wheat, rice, and cotton. The commodity market helps stabilize prices and allows farmers to manage risks by using futures contracts. This helps reduce uncertainty and ensures that farmers receive a fair price for their produce.
Gold and silver are some of the most traded commodities in India. Gold is not only seen as a symbol of wealth but also as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. Indians often invest in gold during times of financial uncertainty.
India is a major importer of crude oil, and the energy sector heavily depends on commodity markets to manage price fluctuations. The prices of petrol, diesel, and electricity are directly influenced by crude oil prices in the global commodity market.
Despite its importance, the commodity market faces several challenges:
The commodity market is expected to grow as more people become aware of its importance and potential. As India continues to modernize, the demand for commodities will increase, making it even more essential for producers and investors to utilize this market for price discovery, risk management, and economic stability.
Additionally, technological advancements such as digital trading platforms are making it easier for more participants to join the market. This is likely to improve market efficiency and accessibility.
The commodity market is an essential part of the economy, helping to balance supply and demand, manage price risks, and provide investment opportunities. It supports key industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and energy, while also influencing inflation and global trade. In India, the commodity market plays a critical role in stabilizing prices and promoting economic growth. Understanding how the commodity market works can help producers, investors, and consumers make more smart decisions, ultimately contributing to a more stable and prosperous economy.
